Summer reading

While reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis for my summer reading, I read this excerpt that completely, simply, and elegantly described why atheism is wrong. Here's the excerpt:

...atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning.


The logic and clear writing of C.S. Lewis continues to astound me.
